Me, too; though like Marilyn I sometimes take a while, depending on how many
other things I have in my pile.
If you submit them with a note that in the comments space that there are
graphic descriptions of sex or torture or whatever, or obscene language, then
only people willing to proof such books will take them and you don't have to
put them on hold for anyone.

> The author is Samantha Jillian Bayarr. Also there are
three other books by Sarah Price and they are also arnish and yes they are
christian fiction. Gwen is buying them and if they aren't too much, try to buy
the whole series. Also I have a lot of the series to Sweet Savage Love by
Rosemary Rogers if someone will proofread but just be warned, they are
graphic.

>Welcome
Carmella it's good to know you will do religious fiction. My wife has a whole
series beginning with Jacob's daughter which is an arnish series. I can scan
and
fix the funts and put them with hold for your name on them if you wish, in fact
that goes for anyone that wants them or I can just submit
them.

wanted to add my welcome too. It seems to me that in addition to scanners we
need people who enjoy and/or are willing to proof religious books,

>>Hi everyone, I
wanted to introduce myself, as well. I just checked in my
>>first
proofed book last weekend and am currently proofing my
second. I
>>use a JAWS screen reader and an older version
of MS Word (2003,I think).
>>This lap top has served me well or longer than
the previous ones I've had,
>>though it gave me more trouble at first. I
guess I technically became a
>>volunteer when I uploaded my own book,
"Carmella's Quest: Taking On College
>>Sight Unseen," for inclusion in the
collection in 2009. I recently became
>>an active proofer and
joined this list. Its certainly been an interesting
>>time to join
given all the controversy. Fortunately, that doesn't bother
>>me
as I've been on email discussion lists for years and know how those
kinds
>>of things go. Its interesting to read everyone's thoughts. I didn't
quite
>>understand why so many books were on hold when I went to find things
to
>>check out either but figured there must be reasons unknown to me as a
new
>>volunteer. I was surprised there weren't more books needing proofing,
but
>>hoped it was because so many publishers were being generous and making
their
>>books available for easy conversion.
>>
>>I have an undergraduate
degree in Biblical studies from Columbia Bible
>>College/Columbia
International University and do a lot of spiritual reading
>>for my own
interest and growth so I don't mind proofing some of the
>>religious
books. The ones I snagged had been sitting out there for
a
>>while. The one I just finished was about the controversies of the
Apostle
>>Paul and I found it very interesting. Having to go over it so
carefully and
>>then double check and all that definitely makes one pay
attention to the
>>content, I guess. Lots of end notes to put
parentheses around and Greek
>>words that spell checkers don't
like. With the one I'm doing now (a
>>collection of brief humorous
essays) the author is annoyingly addicted to
>>overuse of the m
dash.
>>
>>I'm blind from birth due to retinopathy of prematurity. I have a
guide dog
>>who is semiretired. She's a 15 year old yellow lab named Maggie.
We live in
>>SC, so most of our activities are indoors currently for
obvious reasons.
>>I've enjoyed using BookShare for several
years. I use it for personal
>>enjoyment and for reading
books relevant to my work as a counselor. Self
>>help, books
about mental health, and books about relationships are of
>>interest to
me for professional as well as personal reasons. I also like
>>intelligent
fiction, true crime, mysteries, memoirs, and
essay
>>humorists.
>>
>>I've been on this list for a week or so now. I may
switch to digest mode
>>soon for time reasons. I love that its an
active list since that means so
>>many of you are truly involved
and passionate about the work you're doing
>>for BookShare. Its
just a little overwhelming since I am on other lists, as
>>well. I also
work at a private counseling agency and am always working on
>>writing
projects of my own. I want to read and gain as much knowledge as
I
>>can here for at least a few weeks since I'm new and know I have a lot
to
>>learn. I'd like to get to know some of my fellow volunteers, as well.
I'm
>>already getting to know some of you by just reading your posts.
I'm glad to
>>be here.
